This is first in a series of threads on the different Circuits that Australia has.

It will contain Satellite photos from the great site "Google maps" and "Google earth"

The first will have a road/street map overlay to help you to identify what roads are what around the area.

The second photo will be a closer view of the circuit and withe no map overlay.

I will be putting basic track info in. Feel free to post in anything you want about the track, anything at all.


Eastern Creek, Sydney New South Wales

Very calm and collected as you take that thing around with its arse hanging out half the time. Love your work. :)

Thanks fellas,
the tyres I had on were Duncs RE55's, they are a absolutley great tyre, love em. They were the only reason that I was able to do the time I did. I reckon if it was in the dry I could have done a 1.58.

Thanks again Dunc :thumbs: :beer:

I reckon you would smash 1:58s in the dry. :whip: I did 2:00 in my old (62rwkw) MR2, and 1:54s in the Corona on my first time in that car.

Hey man, cheers, the speed alert is good to let me know (remind me) what speed I am doing into a corner.

The limiter, hmmmm:whip: That thing shits me, I need to get sonny to tweak the shift point in the auto, its holding me back by a second or so.

You think? Hmm I hope to find out next year sometime. A 2.00 in a 62 RWK MR2, are you forgetting a 1 in there?? WOW thats a great time.

Absolutely - EC is such a power circuit - and you look like you can steer really well so I'd back you for about a 56.

That was in my old 1600 87 MR2. Was pretty slow on the straights, but mid corner was as quick as anything there. I would/should have done a sub 2.00 - except for an Elise that held me up over the last 3 corners on my best ever lap there! Dammit!! :headbang:
